Amanda Seyfried on her “mental health issues”

Amanda Seyfried admits without reservation that she’s in therapy for “mental health issues” and she’s anxious to become a mother because she feels like her “eggs are dying.”

I’ve been told to not talk about it, but [anxiety] is so very common. I just think, you go to your doctor about heart problems, or an eye doctor if you have an infection, you have to take care of yourself.” “Mental health is so segregated, it sucks. You don’t necessarily have to have something chemically wrong with your brain to have mental health issues.”

The 29-year-old actress, who is dating Justin Long, says in ‘Marie Claire UK’s’ August issue about having kids, “I need to get on it. I want a child, badly. I want to be a mother, badly. That’s how I feel. I’ve been feeling it for like, two years. I keep feeling like my eggs are dying.”

The ‘Ted 2’ star said she doesn’t want a big wedding because she’s always playing dress-up for movie premieres. “I do that for a f*cking living. Putting on a dress and saying vows to the person I love is fine, if I am alone with him. That’s what is really meaningful to me.”
